    I need a little..................heck I don' know what I need. Since my surgery I have eaten no candy. Yesterday afternoon I hit the left over halloween candy and hit it hard. I can't believe that I did that. I will be afraid to get on the scales for a month. I threw all the rest of the left over candy away. I was eating tootsie rolls and I don't even LIKE tootsie rolls!

    Glad to be back also. I practically live on this forum when I am not sleeping or walking!!! I started on my vitamins - all liquid. Anxious to see how it works out for me. I am blessed that all I have to do is just heal for the next 2 weeks. After the 3 week mark I will feel much better. I am able to take about 4 oz now also. Must have been swollen inside. Also experience NO discomfort at eating my baby food chicken. BUT I have a new deal to get my water in. I am having Terry (MsPiggy) try it too to see if it works as well for her as it does for me. If so I will share with forum but it is kinda spendy. So nice to hear from you. C

    Things are GREAT!!!!!! I started at 215.9 the day before surgery this morning 211.8 AND yesterday I walked 20 min and then 40 min. I am trying to get all my protein and liquid in, have a new game plan for today!!!! Progress---not perfection!!! no pain just tender. I hurt bad when I try to put more than 3 oz in at once. Having regular bowel movement (well, if you call pudding regular) but 2- 3 times a day!! SCORE!!! Getting down all meds easily and looking to have some potato soup tomorrow - maybe will hold off on that, sounds pretty heavy but that is what guidelines say I can have. Thanks for asking. Connie

    Thank you so much! We have arrived here at the Marriott, I'm very impressed, everything has gone very smoothly thus far. OCC was waiting for me when we arrived at baggage claim, and wisked us away. Check in at the Marriott has been great, and very comfortable. I'm having a little bit of a hard time resting, think it is my nerves. Just nervous about tomorrow! Tomorrow is the big day! Yippee! I'm excited & nervous at the same time. See you on the other side of the bench!

    Thank you soo much for replying...that was SOO incredibly helpful! I have been worrying a lot lately. I'm so glad to hear that everything went well w/your surgery and that you are doing well! Sharing your experience with me makes a huge difference! I'm dreading the drain tube...doesn't sound like fun, but it's temporary, and we can get through anything for a day or two! Also, thank you for the suggestion re: the chicken broth cubes, good idea! Have you felt safe outside? How is the neighborhood around both OCC & the Marriott? Thank you again! Keep me posted on your progress.

Sleeved or not sleeved:
I have had a gastric sleeve.
Biography:
I am married to my childhood sweetheart. We have to wonderful sons who are 26 and 27. We currently live and work in Gresham OR, but our home is in KY. I have been overweight since my teens. I have tried every diet out there with little to no long term success. I knew the sleeve was the right choice for me. I had insurance coverage to pay for the RNY but I just couldn't feel comfortable with that surgery, even after taking all the required classes at Kaiser. They didn't offer the sleeve. So I just told my husband I would be a self pay and get the sleeve. He was LESS than happy with me, at the time. I have absolutely no regrets! This is the best thing I could have ever done for myself. I am upset with myself that I kept letting others distract me from what I knew was right for me. In less than a week after surgery I was able to get off all medication. Now both me and my husband are thrilled!
Location:
Gresham, OR
Interests:
Photography, scrapbooking, travel, reading

I quit my job and began a year long quest to get healthy! Working on me is my new job!!
